Charmaine Sheh praises Fala Chen, doesn't care about TV Queen award



[Source: The Sun, Oriental Daily 29/07/2010]

Charmaine Sheh series [Can't Buy Me Love] has been announced as TVB upcoming anniversary series. Though the series has yet to be aired, Charmaine is considered a strong contender for TV Queen (Best Actress) award.

On the other hand, Fala Chen has been rising up the rank of leading actress after her success in [Ghost Writer]. In addition, she also took part in two upcoming anniversary series including [Can't Buy Me Love] and [Rosy Business]. It seems that she will be fighting against Charmaine for TV Queen award.

Charmaine, who is currently filming a Mainland China series in Hengdian, could not be bothered with the alleged rivalry. Instead, she is full of praises for Fala: "She is a really nice girl. She is also very hardworking. (Are you worried not being able to win TV Queen award?) As usual, I don't care about winning awards, just leave it to fate. I only wish for a good script."

The temperature in Hengdian was really hot, swelling up to 39 degree Celcius. Over 10 filming cast and crew have been infected with flu, including Charmaine. She recently returned to HK to seek treatment. As for Roger Kwok, he has been showing early symptoms of heat stroke: "It's so hot that I barely stand straight. This is my first time shaving bald for a series. Charmaine personally shaved my hair and she said it was fun."

Do not repost.

p.s. Meh to TVB. Like usual Charmaine is the sacrificial lamb to promote other actresses. Nothing against Fala though, she is a nice girl like Charmaine said.

[Justice] Simple filming set, Charmaine did her own makeup


[Source: Ent.163.com 23/07/2010]

TVB actress Charmaine Sheh is currently filming a Mainland China series in Hengdian. Due to the simple (lack of) conditions at the filming set, Charmaine have to get into her costumes in front of the public. Three assistants helped her into her costumes and she later puts on makeup by herself. She only noticed the presence of reporters when she's done touching up. Charmaine, who has a nice personality did not stop them but smiled for the camera.

Do not repost.

Sehseh's note: Believe she is just touching up - normally the hair and makeup will be done at hotel, but at some circumstances, actors need to change costumes for different scenes at same set.

Billy Scissorhands: Charmaine Sheh brings out the edge in tomboy cut

Note: Please don't keep asking me when [Heaven & Earth] will be aired. All the 9:30pm slots have been filled to Nov, so it won't be anytime soon. Rest assured I will update in 'Schedule' section for confirmed event/series. Therefore, if I did not post anything there, that means it is not confirmed. This also applies for her upcoming filming projects. Thanks.


Caption: Who says you can't be creative with short hair? Combed back hair with hairband, this style is full of movement.

[Source: Apple Daily 17/07/2010]

Coming from Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, it's unavoidable that Charmaine Sheh gave a 'flower vase' impression early in her career. Long hair with big eyes is the classic pretty girl look. As time passed, Charmaine not only improved dramatically in her acting, she also did not hesitate to cut off her long locks and reveal her true tomboy personality. Hair stylist Billy says that Charmaine is not only beautiful; she is also very intelligent and have high EQ. A girl with both cool level-headedness and hot passion.



Caption: Charmaine's sharp features make it suitable for her to carry different kind of hairstyles. Billy added blue highlight to add layered feel to the hair.

Artistes place heavy importance on their image. In particular TV artistes – when their image has been successfully accepted by the audience, they do not dare to make drastic changes in their looks. From MHK pageant to today's dongka fadan, Charmaine has always maintained her classic 'good girl' look – long hair with big eyes.


Caption: Charmaine cut off her long hair without hesitation. Tousled styling coupled with dramatic eye makeup is a perfect match.

Charmaine has worked with Hair Culture salon for quite some time. Recently, creative director Billy Choi personally took the task and transformed Charmaine into a short haired rock chick. Billy said: "I've worked with Charmaine for 11 years. All these years she has not made much differences in hairstyle, mostly sweet looks. However, as a Gemini, she also has a tomboy side – naughty and cute. Therefore, short hairstyle also suits her perfectly." Billy highly praised Charmaine as cool and has high EQ. When she has problems, she will calmly assess the situation. Like MHK slogan; she possessed both beauty and brains.


Caption: Charmaine had always carried the 'good girl' look. It's a new surprise with her short hairstyle and rock accessories.

Billy points out that Charmaine has naturally wavy hair; labeling them as 'tricky'. He jokes that the hair is as naughty as the owner. First, he had to do reconstruction for Charmaine's hair using different products and skills in order to make them more manageable during cutting process. To create a stylish short hairstyle, Charmaine and Billy spent around 6-7 hours at the salon. He expressed: "Charmaine likes variety, she feels bored of her long hair therefore she wants a change. She has no problem with short hair, but she requested to keep her bangs long. This is because her bangs need to cover the fake wigs when filming costume drama." Charmaine is open to changes; her only insistence is not to color her hair. She prefers full black or darker hair tones as they look more realistic.


Caption: Charmaine has always been regarded as classic pretty girl look. However, Billy sees her as a lovable combination of cuteness, chivalrousness and intelligence.

This time, Billy styled Charmaine's short hair into different types of images. Who said short hair is unsuitable for formal events? For example, Billy styled Charmaine's hair in 'all back' and held them together with a hair band. It's feminine and regal at the same time. Billy expressed that short hair can be cut into different symmetry; one side long while other side is short. Of course, it will be much easier to carry short hair if your face shape is small and sharp like Charmaine's. Actually, people with square or larger face could also experiment with short hair.

Please do not repost.
